Massacre at Wickenburg: Arizona's Greatest Mystery
A Bloody Puzzle
On a chilly morning in early November 1871, a Concord stagecoach left the little town of Wickenburg, Arizona, traveling west through a quiet desert carrying seven men and one woman. The morning was split by a horrified yell — Apache! — and then the roar of gunfire. As the bodies slumped under a rising sun and the blood seeped into the sand, the stage became set for one of the West’s most enigmatic and echoing tragedies.
One man and the lone woman passenger, though severely wounded, escaped into the desert. Were the culprits truly Indians, or had they been Mexican bandits in disguise? Were the only two survivors somehow involved? When the U.S. Army finally laid the blame on a band of local Yavapai Indians, it lead to a policy of "removal and concentration" that altered the fate of nearly every Indian in America's Southwest. It quickly became clear that the real ramifications of this horrific crime were only just beginning to present themselves.
Massacre at Wickenburg retraces the incident and presents all of the evidence and a convincing case for "whodunit." However, the analysis is intended to help the reader draw an independent conclusion.
